Residents, farmers and sustainable food advocates will have plenty to chew on at the North Shore Food Summit, set for 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 2 at Turtle Bay Resort.<\/p>\n
The inaugural event, coordinated by the North Shore Community Land Trust, brings together “food system partners” for a day of panels, break-out sessions, working groups, food and fellowship, all designed to lay the foundation for greater food security on the North Shore and throughout the state.<\/p>\n
Registration closes July 26. Fee is $75 per person, or $50 for residents of Kahuku, Haleiwa and Waialua (verified by ZIP codes). For details, call Doug Cole of the NSCLT at 497-0036, or visit northshoreland.org. The fee includes a lunch of locally sourced food at the resort’s new Kula Grill.<\/p>\n
Summit sessions cover the North Shore food system, building healthier communities, landowner panels, local farmer panels, organic food cultivation, funds for farming, cultivating leaders and food action plans.<\/p>\n
